Sustainable Barramundi at The Cav Right Now

Cameron — Fri, 18 May 2012 17:34:38 +0000

Barramundi’s sweet, mild taste and delicate texture makes it a perfect, ocean-friendly substitute for red snapper, grouper or Chilean sea bass.

Because barramundi is a relative newcomer to the American seafood scene, it can be a challenge to find this fish in local markets. But, this ocean-friendly seafood is becoming more popular every day, and it is definitely worth the effort to find this sweet-tasting fish.

Barramundi is a fish for non-fish lovers, as it does not have an overpowering fish flavor. Many describe it as a mix between red snapper and halibut.

Come try this delicious fish at The Cav, but hurry because it is only available until we sell out!

Live Music at The Cav This Friday February 17th!

Cameron — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 18:54:12 +0000

Philip Gibbs is a songwriter born and raised in Austin, but these days he spends almost all of his time on the road, traveling 30,000 miles and playing 200 shows a year. Now he presents his fourth studio release, The Petroleum Age. This album is as much a look at the past as a musing about how the future will regard the present. It was recorded live in three separate studios, in four separate situations. After playing 15 years, he’s made 4 albums of his own, had his songs recorded by several other artists, and written for stage and screen.

Philip will be performing at The Cav this Friday during dinner hours from 5 to 7 pm. No cover, and drink specials all night!

“Stephen F. Austin’s Blues just knocked me flat. That’s great writing.”

–Gurf Morlix

“I continue to return to this veteran Austin-bred singer-songwriter, who carries the road along with his music. Creative guy, across the board.”

–Michael Barnes, Austin American Statesman

“An inspiring troubadour, with a trove full of songs…”

–San Francisco Chronicle

“Solid.”

–Alex De Vore, Santa Fe Reporter

“Gibbs proves to be a sensible and crafty songwriter.”

–Dante Dominick, Rockzillaworld

“[Gibbs’ album, Paper Crosses, is] a jazz-influenced country album, which works really well… a ten-track, forty-minute pleasure trip…”

–Sean Claes, InSite Magazine of Austin

“Bru[The Defibulators’ Erin Brueggemann]‘s star shines brightly on the show stopping throwback number, ‘Get What’s Coming’ [Music by Philip Gibbs, Lyrics by Philip Gibbs and Stephen Doster]”

–Bill Whiting, Honest Tune

“‘She’s Gonna Go’ [Music by Philip Gibbs, Lyrics by Charlie Faye] is like a country standard written years ago though it’s very much about now.”

–Paul Zollo, bluerailroad

“[Brent Allen]‘s got a Philip Gibbs song [on his recent album There’s A Lot of Folks Like Me], “The Whiskey Won’t Help” (and Phil oughta know??)”

–Duggan Flanakin, Flanfire (Apr 29, 2008)

In the popular Spring 2005 Vortex production of Sleeping Beauty, Phil portrayed “Dave, a prince who writes his own ballads. (Philip Gibbs penned the character’s songs himself.) He and Briar Rose could settle for the ‘happily ever after’ that’s typically tacked onto their story, but they defer that so they can write more adventures for their lives. It’s an intriguing alternative to what we get in the traditional tale of the Sleeping Beauty, and the same may be said for this pleasing production overall.”

–Robert Faires, The Austin Chronicle
